Milo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Ever n' ever n' ever n' ever n' ever n' ever, I mean
Wipe me down with celerity
Hold myself with alacrity
These are careful notes of every lack in me
I took ayaka beans, tried to tax my seed
College was rote Zionism
Renaissance dunce, but some blunders tracing a fault line
Trying to defend my distance
Trying to defend my distance
Tried to fend my distance
Big ass painting of myself like I'm Lonnie Liston
The auto-tune clambering modernity
On auto-pilot for an eternity
She play Shirley Scott and I'm Turrentine
Feel my spirit bugging, but it's weltschmerz
Your soul was cussin' that felt hearse
This Robitussin is for the wet nurse
Karl Popper
Sweating by that hot poker, fuck that
You should've been a stock broker, fuck that
Rappers look at rock smokers, fuck that
At the bottom of a well and I'm screaming, "There's still more"
I gripped a microphone like I'm John Gilmore
Pilot pulpit as a star-fighter, and the consequences can buffer
I flourish in the lag time, I
Flourish in the lag time, I
Flourish in the lag time, I
Flourish in the lag time, I
Flourish in the lag time, I
Flourish in the lag time
Behind stalactites of my mind, I
Flourish in the lag time, I
Flourish in the lag time, I
Flourish in the lag time, I
Flourish in the lag time, I
Flourish in the lag time
While suffering was normalized, I
Flourished in the lag time, I
Flourished in the lag time
Flourished in the lag time
When suffering was normalized, I
Flourished in the lag time
Lag time
And the stalactites in the back of my mind
When suffering was normalized, I
Flourished in the lag time
Shit
Shit
Oh yeah, this is dope
The song "Sorcerer" by Milo is a deeply introspective and reflective piece that delves into themes of self-doubt, self-improvement, and growth. The opening lines of "Ruby Yacht for ever n' ever n' ever n' ever n' / Ever n' ever n' ever n' ever n' ever n' ever, I mean" suggest a deep sense of commitment and loyalty to his crew and artistry. Milo then goes on to describe his attempts at self-improvement through lines such as "Wipe me down with celerity / Hold myself with alacrity / These are careful notes of every lack in me."
The reference to ayaka beans and college being rote Zionism speaks to Milo's own personal struggles with mental health and his critiques of the education system. He recognizes his own faults but is also critical of the society that surrounds him. Lines such as "Trying to defend my distance" suggest a desire to keep people at arm's length, possibly out of fear of vulnerability or a need for self-preservation. The reference to Lonnie Liston Smith and Turrentine allude to his love of jazz and music as a source of creative inspiration.
The repeated refrain of "Flourish in the lag time" emphasizes that growth and improvement take time, and that it's okay to experience setbacks or periods of inactivity. It's also a reminder that despite adversity, one can still thrive and find purpose in life. The line "When suffering was normalized, I / Flourished in the lag time" is particularly poignant, speaking to the idea that sometimes the most growth can come during difficult moments.

[Intro]
Ruby Yacht for ever n' ever n' ever n' ever n' ever n' ever n' ever n' ever n' ever n' ever, amin...
[Verse 1]
Wipe me down with celerity
Hold myself with alacrity
These are careful notes of every lack in me
I took while jacobins tried to tax my seed
College was rote Zionism
These scars come with broke fire pistols
Renaissance dunce
Bus of blunders tracing a fault line
Trying to defend my distance
Trying to defend my distance
Tried to fend my distance
Big ass painting of myself like I'm Lonnie Liston
The auto-tune clamor of modernity
On auto-pilot for an eternity
She play Shirley Scott and I'm Turrentine
Feel my spirit bugging, but it's weltschmerz
Your soul was cussin' that felt hearse
This Robitussin is for the wet nurse
Karl Popper
Sweating by that hot poker, fuck that
You should've been a stockbroker, fuck that
Rappers look like rock smokers, fuck that
At the bottom of a well and I'm screaming, "There's still more"
I gripped a microphone like I'm John Gilmore
Pilot pulpit as a star-fighter, and the consequences can buffer
[Chorus]
I flourish in the lag time, I, flourish in the lag time, I
Flourish in the lag time, I, flourish in the lag time, I
Flourish in the lag time, I flourish in the lag time
Behind stalactites of my mind, I flourish in the lag time, I
Flourish in the lag time, I, flourish in the lag time, I
Flourish in the lag time, I, flourish in the lag time
While suffering was normalized, I flourished in the lag time, I
Flourished in the lag time, flourished in the lag time
When suffering was normalized, I, flourished in the lag time
Lag time
And the stalactites in the back of my mind
When suffering was normalized, I flourished in the lag time

I remember I would listen to this during summer bike rides, I was going through rough times and the flourish in the lag time line really spoke to me. I would just repeat that mantra and I eventually did flourish. Thanks milo/r.a.p. Ferraria ✌️
